Aortic valve prolapse

Short axis view of the aortic valve showing prolapsed of the right coronary cusp, this clip is very classical . patient has per membranous VSD

Dilated cardiomyopathy with severe mitral prolapse

This apical TTE clip demonstrates the appearance of a patient with a severe dilated LV cardiomyopathy that has resulted in distortion of the mitral valve, severe prolapse, and regurgitant flow.

Mitral Valve Prolapse

Straightforward TEE clip of a patient with prolapse of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve.

Mitral Valve Prolapse

In this apical TTE clip you can clearly see both the anterior and posterior leaflets of the mitral valve prolapsing back during systole.

Severe mitral regurgitation (1 of 3)

In this apical TTE clip, the posterior mitral leaflet can be seen prolapsing into the left atrium and completely failing to coapt with the anterior leaflet. Furthermore, there appears to be a ruptured chordae and part of the leaflet is flail. In another clip we will see that this results in severe mitral regurgitation.

Severe mitral regurgitation (2 of 3)

In this zoom view of the mitral valve, we see the valve with and without color flow doppler. In this case, the regurgitant flow occupies the entire left atrium, which is not enlarged, suggesting a relatively new onset of regurgitation. The prolapse of the posterior leaflet results in a jet directed towards the interatrial septum where the flow circulates in the atrium. This amount of MR also resulted in reversal of pulmonary venous flow.

Severe mitral regurgitation (3 of 3)

In this subcostal TTE clip, we can see the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve prolapsing into the left atrium, which in other views is severe.

Ventricular and atrial enlargement due to longstanding regurgitation

This apical TTE clip without doppler shows the enlargement of the left ventricle (due to AI) and the left atrium (due to MR) in a patient with longstanding valvular disease. Notice the bulging of the atrial septum to the right consistent with significant increase in left atrial pressure. Also note the profound prolapse of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve.
